Jokes aside, people already can "undo" or "cancel" their unconfirmed transaction thanks to existence of RBF and full-RBF. They just need to use wallet which support such feature, such as Electrum.
I guess this is only applicable when the transaction has gotten 0 confirmations.

Yes, it only applies to transaction 0 confirmation. That's why i bold text "unconfirmed".

This too should have a  big risk of  getting a stuck transaction usually when there is no  transaction with higher fee to replace it and what if the the transaction wasn't marked as replaceable in RBF I guess Reversal will be impossible.

Even if a transaction doesn't have replaceable or RBF flag,  you still can use full RBF to replace it.

for full-RBF irrespective of been marked as replaceable once there is 0 confirmation i guess it can re replaced with a transaction with higher fee. But what if there are no such transactions for a long time how long will the network congestion last?

Most node would simply drop the TX either after 2 weeks or if their mempool is full.



As usual, i see you make unique suggestion/idea on technical board. I can't wait coffee shop require 6 (5 + 1) confirmation and exchange require 11 (5 + 6) confirmation, once your idea implemented on Bitcoin network.

Why is the exchange included in the transaction, that part of your comment/reply I do not understand ? Maybe to convert dollars into bitcoin and then pay at the coffee shop with bitcoin ?

You missed my point. My point is people who accept Bitcoin would require more confirmation in order to make sure the TX can't be reversed or undo-ed.
